Sorry people - but the law is THE LAW and nobody is ABOVE it. JUdge Moore refused to obey a court order (the right or wrong of the order has nothing to do with it)< and now he must pay for that action.

PERIOD!

Anyone who says they are for the rule of law should have no argument about this action. What the Alabama courts and Bill Pryor did was EXACTLY what they were supposed to do. Bill Pryor should be lauded - this is the exact reason why he should be confirmed! He DOES NOT let his personal feelings get in the way of his job. HIS JOB is to uphold the law in Alabama - judge Moore broke the law by DISOBEYING a court order. Bill Pryor then did his JOB!

I do not agree with the decision to remove the monument, but the court issued an order, it was not stayed , and Judge Moore refused to obey it. At that point, what the order was about becomes a MOOT POINT, the only thing that mattered in the Alabama decision was that they had a Judge who disobeyed a lawful court order. And the Order is lawful UNTIL it is overturned. End of story.

Didn't break any state law that I know of, he is a State Supreme Court Justice. The order was by a national judge which has no rule, especially considering the ruling violates the Tenth Amendment. Misreadings of the First Amendment and relying on an illegally passed Amendment (14th) don't override the rule of law as laid out in the 10th

Applause. You get it - pity that those calling for revolution in this thread over a hunk of rock don't.

Unless, of course, your name might happen to be Clinton, Reno, Richardson, Kennedy, Condit, Frank, et al.... Then you could argue that this is a nuisance complaint and you must, you just must, put it behind you and get on with doing the people's business. Unbelievable.

Orwell was right but he was a few decades off in his prediction................
